TPO roof cleaning
What products do you recommend to clean a TPO roof? My first time cleaning my trailer roof that is 2 years old.

My new TT is the first I've ever had with a "rubber/plastic" roof, TPO.
I was under the impression TPO did not need to be cleaned, I guess I should look into this more. There must be one or two threads on interest about this, eh? LOL
But I would NEVER use dish soap, I don't care what manual says its ok. Its more aggressive than any simple car wash solution and will take the wax (and shine) right off the sides of your RV.
My TT's instruction manual, which is a 2003, says it is not actually necessary to clean the roof, but just brush off leaves and dirt. I have washed and "treated" the roof a couple times, using something similar to what DutchmenSport uses (might be the same product). I do it mostly because the roof does get so dirty, and it makes it easier to see if there are any other maintenance issues -- But...
If you want to clean the roof, I have read here and other places to NOT use car wash. The vast majority of car wash products use petroleum distillates, which supposedly will degrade the roofing material of campers. As is said on the internet -- YMMV (Your mileage may vary - or it might work fine for you)
